Sep 6, 2007 Draft, many sessions at Norfolk airport 2001-2004. Shiny light copper with a small and mostly lasting head. Aroma is slight, sweetish peppery evergreen. Initial flavor is the same, turning to more dry-bitter, piny hop with a slight sour note on the finish. Palate is light medium, watery, tingly and dryish.

Jun 22, 2006 Thanks to Springslicker (and Aro0) for this one. Clear orange with a decent white head. Toasty, malty aroma. Thin, seltzery body. Notes of bread and pepper. Nice session ale.

Jun 20, 2006 Bottle thanks to Argo0.
Brilliantly clear medium copper with an off-white head that falls quickly.
Dry butterscotch aroma.
Bitterness dominates the early flavor with some sweetness only making it’s appearance near the end of the finish. I would have preferred more dryness when I got sweet, and I got bitterness when I would have liked a touch of sweetness. Not bad despite the issues of unbalance.

Jun 15, 2006 Draught. Clear orange-brown color with thin white head that left some lace. Nice sprucy hop aroma accented by caramel maltiness. Love the smell. Tastes good too with a nice balance between the soft malt and sprucy hops. Very good pale ale.

Jun 12, 2006 Not a bad beer, pouring with an amber color and a decent initial head. Lacing was ok. The aroma was mostly of hops, light caramel. Flavor was of caramel and some bread-like notes with a definite but not overdone hop presence: citrus and some pine. The mouthfeel was full for the style. The more enjoyable of the three beers I had tonight.

Apr 14, 2006 Retired! No! I just tried this great beer. Sweet aroma, some caramel. Very light and refreshing. Will have to look for it before it’s really gone.

Apr 5, 2006 3.31.06 Retired! Beaconstreet told me it was going to be soon as I visited him in Washington, DC this past weekend. Too bad since it is a pretty decent brew that I would have had no problem picking up a 6 of once in a while

Mar 16, 2006 (draft) Saw it on tap and knowing it wasn’t going to be around for long, decided to grab it. Crystal clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, light toast. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, peach, light floral. Light-medium body with light stickiness. A pretty run-of-the-mill brew that no one is likely to miss other than for nostalgia.
